For those of you who were born post-Break, baseball was an archaic sport from Dr. Nowhere’s time, involving three teams armed with bats, each trying to capture the other teams’ bases. In the absence of Healers, the only thing preventing mass casualties was the ‘three strikes’ rule, which defined a limit on how many times a given player could be hit. I’m still not sure how balls figured into the whole thing, but given that my own testicles want to crawl up into my body just thinking about it, I’m okay with remaining ignorant.
